MissThrunTo Be Soloist
Sunday; Hostesses Named
Miss Frances Thrun, Med
ford dramatic soprono, will be
soloist for a concert to be giv
en Sunday, March 1, by the
Philharmonic Society of
Southern Oregon. Richard D.
Werner, will conduct the pro-
Miss Frances Thrun
gram, set for 3 p.m. at Med
ford High school auditorium.
Miss Thrun, who has a voice
of unusual beauty and rich
ness, is a favorite with Rogue
valley audiences. She has ap
peared with the Philharmonic
orchestra before, but not for
the past several seasons.
Miss Thrun will sing two
operatic arias, and the pro
gram has been arranged so
that these will follow orches
tral numbers from the same
operas. Her numbers will be
"Dich teure halle" from Wag
Revlon's Barbara Britton
Prefers TV To Movie Job
United Press International
New York -UPD- One of the
three most famous female an
nouncers on TV, only Bar
bara Britton can sit down on
the job.
Betty Furness stands along
side refrigerators.
Julia Meade stands along
side automobiles.
But blonde, blue-eyed Miss
Britton, who has sold lotions
and lipsticks on "The $64,000
Question" and "The Garry
Moore Show," is allowed to
talk while seated. In fact,
that's how the sponsor wants
it.
"The Revlon people decided
it would be less formal and
more friendly-looking to show
me sitting down. It makes for
a more relaxed picture, too,"
said Miss Britton.
"They feel the viewers
might miss the message if the
TV camera showed all of me.
My dress might be too decor
ative or distracting. After a
while, though, my friends be
gan wondering if I'd become
ner's "Tannhauser," and "Voi
la sapete" from "Cavalleria
Rusticana" by Mascagni. The
orchestra's numbers by these
composers will be the march
from "Tannhauser" and the
beautiful "Intermezzo" from
"Rusticana."
An American composer,
MacDowell, is represented on
the program, and a French
woman, Augusta Holmes, by
her composition entitled "En
Mer." Gliere's "Russian Sail
or's Dance" from "The Red
Poppy" will be played also.
Post-intermission numbers
will include "Waltz of the
Flowers" from "The Nutcrack
er Suite" by Tschaikowsky.
"Les Preludes", a symphonic
poem by Franz Liszt will con
clude the concert.
It is stated that Director
Werner has planned this pro
gram with care for audience
appeal, and with more short,
concise works than are us
ually heard on a concert pro
gram. v- Bruno Pellegrini will assist
Mr. Werner and will accompa
ny Miss Thrun.
Coffee will be served dur
ing intermission by members
of the Philharmonic Society
guild. The guild announces
that in the future two honor
ary hostesses will be asked to
preside during these intermis
sion events. Mrs. Almus Pruitt,
Medford, and Mrs. Vincent
Vaughn, Eagle Point, are the
first two invited to serve. Mrs.
Henry DeVoss, Talent, is
chairman of the coffee hour.
Tickets for the concert will
be on sale at the box office.
pregnant. I wear such lovely
things and it's all lost because
the camera doesn't show my
skirt."
(Note: The reader and TV
viewer can be assured that:
one, Miss Britton does have
legs and two, they're mighty
shapely.;
Looks Like Lady
She was chosen by Revlon
because of her lady-like looks,
her trim 120-pound, 5-feet, 6
inch figure, and her acting
ability.
"You know," said Barbara,
"when you're doing commer
cials, you must fit the mood
the sponsor wants to reflect. I
would say a Jayne Mansfield-
type wouldn't get the job.
"Doing commercials for the
last few years has given me a
wonderful following. I was in
pictures 10 years and had
nothing like the fame I've had
doing commercials on TV.
And financially, it's the great
est," Barbara added.
A native of Long Beach,
Calif., she was signed by Par
amount after a talent scout
saw her in a high school play.
Perhaps her best-known pic
tures were "Champagne for
Caesar," in which she played
Ronald Coleman's sister, and
Till We Meet Again," in
which she played a nun.
She began appearing on TV
regularly in 1952, when the
"Mr. and Mrs. North" series
was launched. Barbara came
to New York from Holly
wood because, in those days,
that was where the TV work
was. Although Hollywood
now is top dog, Barbara
doesn't plan to return.
She's even trying to sell her
Hollywood home.
Owns Farms
"We have this big apart
ment here in New York and
we spend our summers on our
30-acre working farm at Beth
el, Conn., where we raise
black angus cows," she said.
By "we" she means her hus
band, Dr. Eugene J. Czukor,
a consulting psychologist, and
their two children, Teddy, go
ing on 12, and daughter Chris,
7.
"During the summer, I'd be
in New York for the TV shows
and scoot right back to the
farm. Lately, we've been tap
ing the commercials on Sun
days, so that gives me the rest
of the week at home.

Homes Hazard to Husbands
Declares Safety Director
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York -(DPD- It isn't the
blonde in the office who is a
hazard to your husband. It's
the booby-trap in the home
One safety expert- today
urged women to switch the
signals on chivalry and start
protecting the men, if we
want to keep the supply any
where near the demand. One
of the best places to begin:
Home, sweet home, where
most accidents occur,
Mrs. Marjorie May, home
safety director for 13 years
with the Greater New York
Safety council," said that more
male than female babies are
born each year in this coun
try. But a lot of the males
never reach the marrying age.
. "Census figures show a sur
plus of 1.5 million females,"
she said. "One reason . . .
males between 15 and 24 are
being killed in accidents al
most five times as fast as fe
males." Autos Top Killer .
Auto accidents are the
number one killer, wiping out
38,500 men, women and chil
dren annually; home acci
dents are second, killing
around 28,000, she said.
But it's in the home the
woman has her greatest
chance to promote safety,
Mrs. May said.
Some of her suggestions:
Don't start the day with an
argument. Keep hubby in
happy mental state.
Get the family up early
enough to eat a good break
fast and avoid rushing.
Keep the home "environ
ment" as accident-free as you
can. Did you get the non-skid
material to put under the
scatter rugs? Was it you who
moved the furniture around
without warning hubby and
the children? And what's
wrong, she asked, with the
woman checking whether the
stepladder is in good repair?
Check On Cords
When cleaning house,
check on electric cords for
lamps and other appliances.
If they are frayed or plugs
are broken, see that they are
repaired.
Provide plenty of large ash
trays, the safety director said.
"And it really isn't as hard
as you think to get him to
stop smoking in bed."
He multiplies the hazards if
was taking acting lessons with
Lee Strasberg and studying
singing. I quit for the sum
mer, found out how much fun
it could be with the kids on
the farm, and never went back
to the lessons," said Barbara.
"But if a part ever came
up, like 'for a Broadway mu
sical, something to work to
ward, I'd go back to the les
sons," she added.

Education Legislation
Reviewed for Teachers
Mrs. Kathryn Stancliffe, a
member of . the legislative
committee of the Oregon Edu
cation association, reported on
current legislation to mem
bers of Epsilon chapter of Del
ta Kappa Gamma, at a meet
ing Saturday, February 21, at
Girls' Community club.
She said that although Gov
ernor Hatfield in his inaugur
al address made no specific
recommendations regard i n g
the financing of schools, yet
much of his speech was de
voted to the subject. Mrs.
Stancliffe quoted from his ad
dress: "Here then is the para
dox: we need education equal
to the times, yet our means
are not without limit." He
concluded with the recommen
dation that a comprehensive
study of the entire subject of
school financing, both from
the sources of revenue avail
able and the formulas of dis
tribution, be made.
There have already been
proposals for increasing the
Basic School fund from the
present $105 to $120 pet
school census child, Mrs.
Stancliffe said. This is con
tained in Senate Bill 94 by
Senators Ziegler and Hopkins
and Representatives Holm
strom and Ireland. However,
the goal of the Oregon Educa
tion association, the Oregon
School Board association, and
the Oregon Congress of Par
ents and Teachers is for $140
per school census child, the
speaker added.
She reported on House Bill
59 by Representatives Peck
and Monaghan and Senators
Francis, Grenfell, and Lewis
which provides that after
July 1, 1964, any school dis
trict having 12 or more men
tally retarded children shall
provide a special instruction
al facility for all such chil
dren. In opposing this bill, Dr.
Wes Niemala, head of the
special education department
of the Salem schools, pointed
out that the total cost for the
program would be about $4,
200,000 with the state paying
about 40 per cent of the bill,
Mrs.' Stancliffe reported. Dr.
Neimala urges consideration
of House Bill 265, sponsored
by the State Department of
Education, which would in
crease the funds for classes
for the educable mentally re
tarded from $90,000 to $208,
000. This recommendation is
based on definite requests
from school districts, the
speaker said.

is worded so that it directly
concerns the Murray-Metcalf
bill, sponsored by the National
Education association for the
federal support of schools,
Mrs. Stancliffe reported. It
calls for" Congress to allot to
the states for distribution to
local school districts an
amount equal to at least $25
each year per school-age child,
rising over a period of four
years to at least $100 per
child to be used for construc
tion and instructional equip
ment, or for supplementing
the salaries of teachers. The
program would cost approxi
mately one billion dollars the
first year, increasing to four
billion dollars in the fourth
year of operation, according
to the report. Fundamental to
this proposal is the principle
that there shall be no federal
control of 'education on the
state and local level, Mrs.
Stancliffe declared.
Mrs. Maxine Smith, president-elect
of Oregon Educa
tion association, invited all
members of Epsilon chapter
to attend her installation as
president on March 19, in
Portland.
New Publication
Members were urged to
order copies of the Society's
new publication, "Lamplight
ers," a collection of biographi
cal sketches of pioneer Ore
gon teachers. According to the
foreword, the "missionary
lighted the flame, the pioneer
cherished it, and the home
steader guarded it." The chap
ters were written by Delta
Kappa Gamma members, sev
eral of whom contributed
articles about early-day teach
ers in this area.
Miss Vida Scripter, social
chairman, was assisted by
Mrs. Betty Powell, and the
Misses Florence Allen, Grace
Lytle, Marie Prescott, and
Ethel Reid.
